Talk to his teacher and ask if you can find out at the end of each week or month if your son has done all his homework.

At home, have a talk with your son about honesty (without yelling) and tell him it is important for him to do his work so he can learn. Tell him he needs to show you his homework every night, and let him know you will be talking to his teacher about it.

Offer to help your son if he does not understand something.

Firstly you might want to get him some help for his anger problem if he becomes upset so fast. Then you have to realize that he is just being a kid and part of this is lying to your folks, whether it be about homework - drugs - spending night with male friends (a lot depends on age). Talk with your son and tell him honestly that you were once young and so can relate to what he's going through but that he needs to complete his homework and that you are there for him to talk to whenever he needs/wants and that you'd appreciate if he could be a little more honest with you. Good luck and I know how hard it is to be a parent also.

You didn't tell us how old he is. This makes the answer harder. I have 3 boys, now 19-18-12. We went thru some real fun times with the older boys. They all do this crap to test us. To see what the punishment will be. There is only so much we can do these days. Boy, back in the day- we would get our butts beat!!!! You can't do that any more or you're the one in jail!! And the kids know it!!!! I know it doesn't help now, but someday he will grow up and tell you he's sorry for all of it!!
Just keep talking to him, take away what is important to him, and make sure he knows you're the boss and you mean business. but always show you're love.and keep telling him that that is unconditional!!!! good luck!!

Could the reason for his getting upset so fast be that the homework is too hard for him? If so, maybe you could talk with his teacher and arrange for a tutor to help him.
Also, he could be lying because he's ashamed that he doesn't know how to do the work. If that's the case, tell him you understand, but that he needs to tell you when there's a problem, so you can help him work it out.

I had this problem with my kids and when I deal with them in a non accusatory way , calmly and with patience and let them know how disappointed I am with their lieing , it encourages them to not lie to me. Every kids wants and seeks the approval and attentioin of their parent and they won't recieve that if they lie. I have found that taking it back to basics help. In nursery school did you ever read the story of the boy that cried wolf? If you haven't and you son is old enought to read and comprehend the idea behind the story read and reread this over and over. State the moral of the story to him about how no one believes a liar. Every time he lies remind him of the story.

I also calmly let my kids know that I will not always agree with their wrong doing, might get upset, or even mad, but they should never lie about anything to me.

If this is exsessive you should consult your family peds doc for further evaluation.

He's also doing alot of other things that he's not telling you, Daddy-o. Perhaps drugs. At any rate, you both need some counseling. At least read Dr. Phil's book on discipline of kids; that might help you. Godloveya.
